A Brooklyn preacher has come under fire for his controversial teachings about race. Reverend James Hindleburg of New Faith Church of The Light told his congregation that blacks were the master race and must act swiftly to reclaim their rightful position as leaders.

In a recent interview with News Two, Rev. Hindleburg attempted to further explain his remarks. Hindleburg stated:

“According to all accounts of history, life originated in Africa. This is also the only country where those who are darker skinned are indigenous. God made men in his image, and that image resembles those who are from Africa. God made us bigger, stronger, and faster because we were meant to rule this planet. They are trying to reduce us to nothing more than entertainers. Basketball, Football, and Boxing have become the new age Mandingo fighting. We are warriors and leaders and the time has come to stop acting like monkey’s in a cage here for their enjoyment.

Black people have been stripped of their land, resources, heritage, and their pride. Especially in America, the time has come for the Master Race to reclaim their planet. This situation in Ferguson shows you that we will no longer be the doormat on which white America tramples. After hundreds of years of being the stepping stone, I feel it is necessary that blacks no longer buy into this nonsense the media perpetuates. We are leaders, we are warriors, and we will rule the white man as God intended. Getting Obama in office was just our first step. We will position black leaders all over this planet.

Hundreds lined up outside of the church over the weekend to protest what they feel is hate speech. “This is not religion,” one protester stated. “This is hate and racism he is teaching. This should not fall under Constitutional protection. He is poisoning the minds of his flock and furthering an already widening divide.”

Before becoming an ordained minister, James Hindleburg took to the internet to deliver his message.
